Two police officers have received final written warnings following their conduct during the Jayden Parkinson missing person investigation in December 2013.

The pair were found to have breached the standards of professional behaviour in respect of Orders and Instructions, and Duties and Responsibilities after Jayden was reported missing.

Another officer received a written warning after admitting the conduct in question.

A member of police staff was also questioned as part of the investigation but was found to have no case to answer.

Thames Valley Police referred the quartet to misconduct proceedings following the Independent Police Complaints Commission’s (IPCC) investigation into TVP’s response to Jayden Parkinson being reported missing and the Force’s contact with Jayden before she was murdered in December 2013.

TVP referred the matter to the IPCC on December 14, 2013 and an independent investigation began.

The three police officers’ misconduct meetings took place on Friday, October 2.

"Fallen short of the standards expected"

Head of TVP’s Professional Standards Detective Superintendent Tim De Meyer said: “These meetings were held to determine whether the conduct of the officers met the standards required by Thames Valley Police and by the public.

"Their conduct was found to have fallen short of the standards expected and the officers were given appropriate sanctions.

"Thames Valley Police will ensure that the officers get the appropriate training and development to ensure that their standards improve.”
